I have been overweight my whole life. No matter what attempts I've made, any weight lost would be short lived. It has gotten worse worse over the years and I hate the thought of where I will be in 5 years at this rate. about 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with hypo thyroid after a 90 lb weight gain over 4 months. The meds took some weight off but not all of it. That started the spiral and now I have Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, joint pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety. I also had an emergency hysterectomy last summer that put me into immediate menopause. Now that we have the hormones in check, I am hoping 2008 will be my year. I was denied my surgery 1 day before it was scheduled Valentines Day 2007 and since have got a new doc and new insurance and hope this will finally become a reality and I can get off most these meds....12 pills and 2 shots a day for the rest of my life....bleh!!! No fun. I want to be active again! Be excited to wear clothes. Be able to do things without being so tired.
